Again, I do not have specific interpretations of these particular issues here with me. I am going to have to seek advice in relation to this. I think ‘ecologically sustainable development’ is a commonly used term that we have an understanding of. Perhaps we have different interpretations of what we would like it to mean, but I am not going to get involved in a circular debate on this matter as part of this process.
